7:00 pm: ART IS THE SEED: Contemporary Female Native American Art Inspired by Traditional Crafts

–
January 10, 2020

In this panel, Marla Allison (Laguna Pueblo painter), Dr. Barbara Mills (U of A Regents' Professor of Anthropology and Curator of Archaeology), and Reid Gómez (writer, scholar, and U of A assistant professor of Women’s and Gender Studies), team up to discuss indigenous female-dominated arts and crafts of the American Southwest and how makers of the past and present have drawn inspiration and power from the creativity of the matriarchs who came before them. The panel will explore the evolution of crafts from a historic perspective and how artists today build on the past legacies of others and how one generation has often built off the last to create new and contemporary artforms.

6:00 pm: Buffalo Soldiers: The 10th Cavalry Regiment Told Through the Art of David Laughlin

–
February 7, 2020

Buffalo Soldiers: The 10th Cavalry Regiment Told Through the Art of David Laughlin paints a picture of daily life for African American soldiers serving in the post-Civil War American West.Through his paintings, pen and ink drawings and block prints, artist David Laughlin depicts the 10th Cavalry Regiment’s daily activities while stationed in Arizona from 1885 to 1896. With the United States Government pushing for western expansion, the Buffalo Soldiers’ tasks ranged from building frontier outposts and laying telegraph lines to protecting settlers, stagecoaches and railroad crews and fighting Native Americans, outlaws and rustlers. Their days were full and difficult, but, to most, their military service offered them a chance to obtain equal rights as citizens in the recently liberated United States.
